b) 1. Abortion concerns the most vulnerable. 2. We do, see our teaching on immigration (although you may think it’s opportunistic). 3. Because they’re getting wise the what was most certainly wrong about the lack of real catechesis in the 80’s and 90’s and the wayward youth is actually listening. 4. It’s amazing that Rick Santorum was the “Evangelical Candidate”. But seriously, look here on this site, I certainly agree with Jon Ericson a lot more than I do with any atheist. 5.

(a) What the flip is an “evolutionary principle” as applied to moral, ethical, or legal reasoning?

(b) Why is abortion the sticking point, and not, for example, the death penalty, or social justice, or food poverty? Why, in fact, do you never even mention these places where the US Right Wing goes proudly against the teachings of your church? Why has the US Catholic Church hierarchy swing wildly right recently? Is it a grab for temporal power, aligning themselves (as the Mormons have done) with the evangelical bloc, in an attempt to be seen as an “insider” rather than an outsider in the Religious Right?

Okay, point b started with genuine curiosity, and then veered off into attack somewhere along the way. I should probably edit it, but (i) I’m too tired, and (ii) I know you can take it. So meh.
